«Combining the ground and satellite measurements provides the most comprehensive view of
how lake temperatures are changing around the world,» he said.
If volcanoes or some other form of geothermal heat
affected lake temperature, this would be seen in the depth - temperature thermal profiles.
Factors such as overfishing may also play a role, but a study published last August in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that
lake temperatures in the last century were the highest of at least the previous 500 years.
Degradation of coral reefs and mangroves, as well as
rising lake temperatures and overfishing, could decrease fish supplies in Africa.
Those include:
Global Lake Temperature Collaboration Forced Evaporation from Water Surface Groundwater depletion in the United States (1900 − 2008) California drought, visualized with open data Federal Support Toolbox
I updated this on May 8, 2017 to add references for the lake effect snowstorm example and
lake temperature data.
Study co-author Simon Hook, science division manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said satellite measurements provide a broad view
of lake temperatures over the entire globe.
Previous work by Hook using satellite data indicated that
many lake temperatures were warming faster than air temperature and that the greatest warming was observed at high latitudes, as seen in other climate warming studies.
Higher lake temperatures may speed the conversion of carbon - rich organic matter in lake sediments into methane and carbon dioxide, gases that once released into the atmosphere could exacerbate global warming.
I personally hear a researcher speculate that
warming lake temperatures could spur the growth of algae, reducing the water's clarity.
The scientists simulated
how lake temperatures would probably rise through the year 2089 and how that might affect walleye survival in the state's lakes.
When we returned the next day, the bear had left, but not before it had chewed up a temperature data logger we had deployed at the lake to record ambient and
lake temperature.»
He found that in the northern part of
the lake temperatures at 328 feet have risen 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit.
When I started,
the lake temperature was about 16 degrees, and now it is down to 12.
The traditional Plunge Pool is at
lake temperature and the spa setting has spectacular mountain and lake views.
The warmer
those lake temperatures, the more moisture in the air, and the greater potential for lake effect snows.
In the previous posting on this lake, many issues were raised about the recent warming, including the speculation that it is due to more turbid water or possibly geothermal warming at depth or that
lake temperature can not be precisely measured.
Lake temperature is taken all along the water column.
Warmer
lake temperatures can also shut down industry.
Moreover, when I checked the actual
lake temperature with the average lake temperature it was more or less the same as the average.
